Prayer:

 

"Dear Yahweh, as we seek to understand Your ways and find hope in Your fairness, please open our hearts to Your wisdom. Guide us through the mysteries of life, strengthen our trust in tough times, and help us believe in Your loving plan for us. Amen."

​

​

Introduction:

 

Life is a journey of highs and lows, and sometimes we find ourselves wondering about fairness and how Yahweh cares for us. The Bible offers glimpses into heaven, where Yahweh makes fair decisions, and into our hearts, where we all seek to understand Him better.

​

Scripture Exploration:

​

  • In Daniel 7:10, 13, 22, we read about a special place where Yahweh makes important decisions. Here, someone called the “son of man,” whom we know as Yeshua (Jesus), is brought before Yahweh, also known as the “Ancient of Days.” This name reminds us that Yahweh has always been and is wise beyond measure. The good people, called saints, are promised a special place in Yahweh’s kingdom.

  • Psalm 139:16 tells us that Yahweh knows us completely, even before we are born, and has a loving plan for each of us.

  • In Job 1:8, we learn about a man named Job who went through really tough times. Satan, the accuser, comes before Yahweh in the heavenly counsel to challenge Job’s faithfulness, setting the stage for Job’s trials. This part of the Bible helps us think about why bad things happen, how Satan plays a role as the accuser, and how we can keep trusting Yahweh.

​

Reflection & Application:

​

These parts of the Bible help us think about how Yahweh is in charge, how Satan acts as an accuser in the heavenly realm, and how we experience life. How do we keep trusting Yahweh when things are hard? How do we know Yahweh has a plan for us when life is confusing? By learning about Yahweh’s fairness, the role of Satan as the accuser, and the story of Job, we can try to understand better, trust in Yahweh’s fairness, and feel comforted that Yahweh knows us completely.

​

Relatable Scenario:

​

Imagine a young woman named Sarah, who has always been active in her community, helping others, and spreading kindness. Recently, she has faced a series of unfortunate events – she lost her job, endured health issues, went through a difficult breakup, and became the target of slander and lies within her community. Sarah found herself questioning why such hardships were happening to her, despite her good deeds and faith in Yahweh.

​

Sarah’s story reflects the challenges many of us face today. Just like Job, she experienced trials that tested her faith and left her seeking answers. It’s essential to remember that, as depicted in the scriptures, Satan plays a role as the accuser, trying to influence lives and bring about judgment. He may attempt to shake our faith, bring hardships, and even use others to spread lies and slander, but Yahweh’s love, fairness, and plan for us remain steadfast.

​

In times of struggle, especially when facing false accusations, damaged relationships, and health issues, we can find solace in knowing that Yahweh is in control, and He understands our pain. By trusting in His plan and seeking to understand His ways, we can navigate through life’s challenges, grow in faith, and find hope in the heavenly courts where divine justice prevails.

​

 

Practical Steps or Challenge:

​

  1. Think about hard times you’ve had. How have these experiences helped you understand better how Yahweh cares for us and how Satan acts as an accuser?

  2. Spend some time thinking about Psalm 139:16 and how Yahweh knows and loves you.

  3. Read more about Job in the Bible and think about trust, tough times, fairness, and the role of Satan as the accuser.

​​

Closing Prayer:

​

"Dear Yahweh in Heaven, we find hope in Your fairness and want to understand better Your loving ways and the challenges we face in the spiritual realm. Help us to trust more, learn more, and feel Your love in our lives. Amen."

​

Further Study:

​

  • Romans 8:28-30 - This part of the Bible talks about Yahweh’s purpose for those who love Him.

  • Revelation 20:11-15 - Here, we read about a time in the future when Yahweh will make final fair decisions and Satan’s role will come to an end.

​

Concluding Thoughts:

​

As we seek to understand more, we find hope in learning about how Yahweh is fair and just, and how He oversees the challenges and accusations brought by Satan. Life can be confusing, but knowing that Yahweh is in charge and loves us can help us trust and have faith.
